Well, that one seemed played out.. I have another.<br><br>What's the shortest word you know that uses all of the vowels a,e,i,o,u, and y? How about if you don't count y, the confused vowel?<br><br>I can think of a few words that have all of them including "y", but I know a shorter one that doesn't.

<br>Alright; that's it. I hearby invoke my powers as a US citizen to make up a new word:<br><br><b>aerious</b>: containing air<br><br>Hey, if the US Congress can do it, ("freedom fries" anyone?) so can I.<br><br><br>Seriously, though, "unavoidable" is as good as I've got, at 11 letters.<br>

You have unquestionably found a good one with five vowels, but I have one that is shorter, actually, the same size as your made-up one.<br><br>Anyone know a word that has the five vowels AND y?

Hmm.. okay, well, an earlier post I made in this thread already has another 14-letter example with all the vowels a, e, i, o, u, and y. Also, someone else accidentally found a 7-letter word in the Questions thread with the five vowels. Find them yet?

Everyone give up finding a shorter word with a, e, i, o, and u? Need a clue? It has seven letters, and the word describes a kind of tree.
